I would also like to point out I really like that first pic. Yes, I was half a second too slow, but I love the way I caught the water rippling along her skin. If you are planning on taking pictures of dolphins I would recommend a good quality camera. The shots above were taken with a Pentax MZ50, a really nice camera, but the auto-focus is just too slow. The others were taken with an old Pentax SLR, a lot more fiddly, but a lot more control.
The following images were taken during a trip we made up North
during January of 1997. For those who are interested, it was long,
hot and a great deal of fun. Actually anywhere along the beach was
great, but inland it was very hot. At "The Overlander" (turn off to
Monkey Mia) it was a mere 47 degrees C at 3:30 in the afternoon in the
shade. I know this because they are kind enough to provide a
thermometer beside the door. Luckily we wemt up in a nice air
conditioned car. Unfortunately it was so hot that the car overheated
if we turned the airconditioning on. This made it a long trip.

These two pics are from UnderWater World when I went their
with a friend around July 1997.
To be honest, I can't tell you which dolphin is which. But I'm pretty
sure there is Milah, Kela and Rajah in one. I think the solo dolphin
is Milah.

The following pictures were taken years ago at Underwater World and
at Monkey Mia. I think the Underwater World trip was around 1992.
The Monkey Mia shots were taken on a trip up north in 1988.
